Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.015 mol of didecyldimethylammonium chloride, 0.01 mol of p-toluenesulfonic acid, 0.01 mol of NaOH and 100 mL of distilled water were charged to a round bottomed flask and heated. The mixture was stirred for 2 h at 40° C., whence the phases were allowed to separate. The organic layer was then washed three times with distilled water. The aqueous phases were tested for the presence of chloride ion using silver nitrate solution. Finally, the organic layer was vacuum stripped to remove water. The obtained didecyldimethylammonium p-toluenesulfonate with 95% yield is soluble in chloroform, acetone, DMSO, and insoluble in water and hexane.
